First Grow Red Dragon and Blue Cheese

This is my first ever grow/post. I'm going with soil and going organic as well. I'm using a Lumatek 400w Ballast with a generic hps bulb. For nutes I'm using Iguana juice both grow and bloom, Oregonism by roots organics for beneficial bacteria, Monster Bloom by grotek, and Bloombastic. I have one Red Dragon plant by Barney's Farm and one Blue Cheese by Big Buddha. I have them in 3 gallon pots filled with fox farm ocean floor soil. I vegged for 6 weeks and put them in the 3 gallon pots a few days before i switched the lighting to 12/12. Here are some pics from day 18. The Red Dragon is on the right and is flowering a lot more than the Blue Cheese.













These are some pics of day 19.

those are some sick looking buds my friend

I switched the placements of the plants. The Blue Cheese seemed like it was getting too hot, and was way too close to the HPS bulb. It's cola looks like its fucked up lol. So I hope theirs some improvement in a few days.

That shit looks sicker and sicker every day.

I've begun to use Bloombastic on the girls along with iguana juice. The Red Dragon suffered a little heat damage and you can see it on the upper leaves, no bud burn though. The Blue Cheese is finally filling out and is looking promising. Some of the Pistils on the red dragon have started to turn a rusty orange color with more and more changing colors every day. She looks downright wicked.

Thanks man, I try to take pics everyday. I just update when ever I get a chance. I couldn't be more proud of the Red Dragon. It was definitely a good choice for the garden.

The Blue cheese has exploded with bud growth. The Red Dragon is still swelling with more and more of the hairs changing orange everyday. Does this mean that its finishing earlier? The Blue Cheese seems like a week behind the Red Dragon. I think I'm Gonna let both plants go for 9 weeks rather than 8. The RD is supposed to take 75 days, but I think I can harvest week early. I'll have to wait until I can get a magnifying glass to check the Tric's. I want the RD to get nice and amber, while the BC I want them to be milky. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is my first grow.

Looking good, although it looks as if you having some heat Burn? Yea I'd let them go for at least 9 weeks. The Blue cheese still has a way to go, Good job on your first grow.

Thanks man, yeah it got a little too hot in the closet one day. The fan's airflow got blocked by the lower branches. Nothing too serious though. Started flushing on Sunday, so I'm gonna go for at least 9 weeks.

Wow those ladies are looking real nice. Great job on your first grow man!

Harvest Blue Cheese Day 61

Checked the Trichromes on the Blue Cheese and they were all milky white. They looked like milk droplets all over the bud. I decided to chop only the top half because I wanted a really nice Sativa head high. I Left the lower branches in the flower room to swell up for at least 2 more weeks.

Started to feed both plants Molasses water. The Red Dragon's Trichromes are still clear. I hope harvest her in about a week. Been Flushing her for a while.

Had to roll a Snake in the grass. The bud was still too wet, even after baking in the oven so in the bowl in went.

This stuff tastes like fresh blueberry on the very end of exhale and is only gonna get better with the cure.

The smell is fruity, like blue Crunch Berries, with a hint of muenster cheese.

The High is very euphoric, and strong. This bud gets you Fucked Up.
